This brought up an interesting point. I was wondering if the whole[math]{[duedate]}[/math]>[math]{[date]}[/math] thing was still needed in[showif] after the [if] context was introduced. It turns out that they don'toperate identically.[if {[duedate]}<{[date]}][then]ACCOUNT IS OVER DUE[/then][/if]Works if [duedate] = 02/01/2002 or 2/1/2002.[showif {[duedate]}<{[date]}]ACCOUNT IS OVER DUE[/showif]Works ONLY if [duedate] = 02/01/2002. It fails if [duedate] = 2/1/2002.For real fun, try this code:[loop start=1&end=12][math show=f]month=[index][/math][loop start=1&end=31][showif {[month]/[index]/2002}<{12/31/2002}][month]/[index]/2002 isless
[/showif][showif {[month]/[index]/2002}>{12/31/2002}][month]/[index]/2002 ismore
[/showif][/loop][/loop]Some (most) dates fail, others don't. Same code works as expected whenwritten with [if].... or is this one of the cases where the doctor says well, don't do thatand [showif] isn't *supposed* to operate the same as [if] when it comes to{dates}? : )Mac PI v4.5.0Rob MarquardtDesigner/Resident WireheadToast Design800 Washington Avenue NorthMinneapolis MN 55401612.330.9863 v612.321.9424 fwww.toastdesign.com-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .To unsubscribe, E-mail to: To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to Web Archive of this list is at: http://webdna.smithmicro.com/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
